â€On Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If I recall correctly, it was like trying to smoke fire. It was harsh, tasted terrible, and i didn't inhale nearly enough for me to get any buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that water is kind of an important factor when it comes to hookah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasbahBazaar Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 How about the myth of freezing hoses, base, blah blah blah makes the smoke better. FALSE! Cold numbs the taste buds (hence why beer is drank warm in Europe) so you taste less of the flavor. Room temp water is the best for the base of a hookah and freezing any part of the hookah is just silly in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawhee Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am also from europe, but I am also a fan of beer. Some are meant to be served rather warm, others cold. Beer has little in common with hookah imo, accept for the fact that they are both awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalSoil Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It makes sens in my mind that shisha like Tangiers would perform worse when chilled due to its sensitivity to temperature and stuff. I would imagine putting ice in the base might have some effect on flavor vs. smoke density; and would effect each shisha differently. If I had to take a stab at a tobacco that wouldnt be effected much, I would say Nakhla would remain mostly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
